See.SZA.Run is the debut extended play (EP) by American singer SZA, self-released on October 29, 2012. After graduating from college and postponing graduate school, in order to make money, SZA began recording music informally, and decided to continue. SZA recorded songs with her friend who lived close by, using production apps and beats from the Internet.
An alternative R&B and neo soul EP, See.SZA.Run has a diverse musical style that incorporates contemporary urban genres such as soul, hip hop, and minimalist R&B. The EP also takes influences from cloud rap and ethereal R&B and also uses witch house and chillwave elements. The production is characterized as being built over billowing synths, bombing bass and crushed beats.
Upon release, the extended play was met with positive reviews. Music critics commended the album, its lyrical content and production, and some compared the album to the work of musicians including Drake, The Weeknd, Miguel and Frank Ocean.[1] To promote the EP, on October 9, 2012, SZA released a music video for the song "Country".[2]
